1. A tie pressing and rolling device comprising a base, a winding member rotatably mounted thereon, a cylinder removably mounted on said member, means to secure one end of a tie to said cylinder, manually operable means to turn said winding member, and means to smooth and press said tie during the rolling thereof on said cylinder. c

2. A tie pressing and rolling device comprising a base, a winding member rotatably mounted thereon, a cylinder removably mounted on said member, means to secure one end of a tie to said cylinder, manually operable means to turn. said winding member, a pressing roller, and a support for said roller manually movableto press said roller against said tie as it is rolled on said I cylinder.

3. A tie pressing and rolling device' comprising a base, a winding member rotatably mounted thereon, a cylinder removably mounted on said member, means to secure one end of a tie to said cylinder, manually operable means to turn said winding member, a pressing roller, and a rocking support 'for said roller manually operable to move said roller to operative position and to holdwhich holds and guides the tie and being movablethereby to operative position.

5. A tie pressing and, rolling device compris-l ing a base, a winding member rotatablymounted thereon, a cylinder removably mounted on said member, means to secure one end of a tie to said cylinder, manually operable means to turn said winding member, means to smooth and press said tie during the winding thereof on said cylinder, and means to retain the rolled tie on said cylinder.

6. A tie pressing and rolling device comprising a base, a winding member rotatably mounted thereon, a cylinder removably mounted on said member, means to secure one end of a tie to said cylinder, manually operable means to turn said winding member, and means to smooth and press said tie during the winding thereof on said cylinder, said cylinder having an enlarged head at one end on which head it may rest upright in storage position;

'7. A tie pressing and rolling device comprising a base, a winding member rotatably mounted thereon, a cylinder removably mounted on said member, means to secure one end of a tie to said cylinder, manually operable means to turn said winding member, a pressing roll, and means to cause said roll-to yieldingly engage a tie on said cylinder-during the winding of said tie.

8. A tie pressing and rolling device comprising a base, a winding member rotatably mounted thereon, a cylinder removably mounted on said member, means to secure one end of a tie to said cylinder, manually operable means to turn said winding member, a pressing roll, and a rocking support for said roll having a portion extending under said member and projecting at the opposite side of said. member and engageable by the hand holding and guiding the tie. c

9. 'A tie pressing and rolling devicecomprising a base, a winding member rotatably mounted on said base and supported at one end only, a cylinder slidable on said member from the free end thereof, meansto prevent relative rotation between said cylinder and member, means to turn said member and cylinder to wind a tiethereon, and means to press and smooth said tie as it is wound on said cylinder.
